Month 2: Even My Skin Looks Tired

My baby has been sick (mostly with chest cold after chest cold) for the past 2 months. Every time we do sleep training it gets undone by illness a week later. I'd be lying if I said I wasn't sighing right now.

I looked at myself in the mirror the other day as I was doing my best to look alive. My puffy eyes did a once-over and assessed that there was no hope...at least not until after naptime.

I didn't know skin could look tired. I wouldn't say leathery. Not quite blotchy. Just tired.

I haven't had the time, or maybe more accurately the energy, to keep up with this project this month.

I just laid the baby down, awake, unswaddled. He's been quiet for 10 minutes.

I have big hopes for month 3.
